Yes, for the 3-Day you must commit to raising a minimum of $2,300 to walk. There is a $90 registration fee. You buy at least 2 pairs of shoes to train. You try out different sportswear and bras to walk in. If you're like me, you even travel to different cities to walk in. You train for at least 6 months, spending many Sunday mornings waking up before the sun to get "at least an hour in before it starts to get too hot". You walk in rain, freezing-cold temps, blazing hot temps, in pain, sometimes fighting to make it another mile.


The Breast Cancer 3-Day is the most magical, memorable, painful, wonderful, grueling experience I have gone through. The tales of survivors, of mothers, daughters, and friends walking together to show support for those who have passed or those who are still fighting are incredible. Those stories, those faces, and that hope keep your feet in step for 60 miles.
And you know what? The 3-Day is addictive. Obviously. This is my fifth one. The only one I missed in the last 6 years was when I was 34 weeks pregnant with Reece and I honestly thought about going to DC anyway.
Why do I walk? I walk because I can, but also because I don't want someone to have to walk for me. This past August I found a lump in my breast. I had it removed and biopsied, and luckily, for me, it was benign. It was the scariest thing I think I have ever had to endure. Cancer is SO scary. As long as I have the time and energy to devote to training....I'll be walking.

See you on the road!
